This week, we take a step down from the Tesla Model S from last week and chat about the camera I used to take lots of lovely photos of the car, namely the Fujifilm XT-1 with 56mm F1.2 lens.
This is a lovely camera and the photos it captures are simply stunning. A full review is coming up later in the week.
Massive thanks to Jeannie Corby at Fuji for providing the camera and lens’s

In the last gadget slot before Christmas, I talk with Mark Murphy about the GoPro Hero, GoPro’s entry level action camera.
We discuss the merits of such cameras over using a mobile phone and likely uses.
The GoPro Hero is lower end in performance and functionality compared to the GoPro Hero 4, but coming in at a quarter of the cost, it’s certainly worth looking at, it’s waterproof to 40 meters and has excellent optics as you would expect from GoPro.
Don’t expect bluetooth or Wifi though, but it has amazing functionality and build quality for the price.
If you are looking to buy one for yourself or a loved one, they are currently stocked by Currys and Argos or from Amazon
in the UK for approx £99.99 (click on the company link to be passed to their website).

This week we have lots of fun in the studio with the Parrot Jumping Sumo Mini Drone.
Packed FULL of sensors and technology including a spring which can be fired on demand to propel the Sumo into the air, this is a really cool Christmas gift for your over 14 year old.
You can control the Jumping Sumo using a smartphone app for iPhone, Android and Windows Phone. This allows for full control over the Jumping Sumo similar to a remote control vehicle.
You can also build a road map within the map so the bot can perform a pre-programmed display.
It’s all great fun and can be bought for just over £100.
Thanks to Steve Puddle for his help organising the loan of the Jumping Sumo

This week we discussed the availability of mobile phone devices for vision impaired people.
Matt specifically discussed the assistance provided by phone manufacturers in the form of ‘Easy Mode’ and ‘Accessibility’ options. We also discussed addons such as ‘Georgiephone’ and screen readers.
There was also some discussion on the development of active screens that actually change shape to provide haptic feedback.
The Samsung Galaxy Alpha was specifically mentioned as it provides Easy Mode and Accessibility features such as Magnify Glass, Torch and easy to read buttons.
Listen to the stream to find out more and I have attached a photo of the Alpha in Easy Mode.

They’re all the rage at the moment and it looks like they could be the gadget gift choice for this Christmas….
Yes, I’m talking about the Selfie Stick, GoPole, Monopole or Monopod.
These are telescopic poles that allow for the fitting of a camera at the end. Some include inbuilt shutter buttons, others are sold separately.
Listen to the recording of the show to find out whether selfies can replace autographs.
